QUOTE OF THE DAY: Elections are supposed to matter. If Republicans had won we would have heard that shouted from the rooftops of all the skyscrapers in NYC. But because the Democrats won, we're back to Republican obfuscation and stealth tactics against the middle class and poor. What is it about the rich that they cannot understand that this growing inequality in America will bring us down? Do they want us to become a banana republic? They refuse to open their eyes - and their wallets, to pay taxes at the rates they were in the Clinton years which was a lot less than in the Eisenhower years.

I am sick to death of people who are so shallow and so unpatriotic that they adamantly refuse to do the right thing.

Too many jets, indeed. What a problem to have, huh? Especially as they try to take away SNAP from American children. — Commenter Sophia from Bangor, Maine, commenting on this (and make sure you RTWT).
